Im sorry, why are we comparing Tesla's, i.e. the future of driving, and/or GTR's, one of the quickest things on 4 wheels, with a cheapo/fun small hot hatch that lost its market share completely because its Ford rival offered a manual gearbox? Hell, even the Juke Nismo thing outsells the Clio...

A big slab of chrome/piano black plastic & some orange colouring does not make a good interior. Neither do the chairs from a 2004 Megane 225. In addition, the climate control/nav panels' lack of symmetry upsets my OCD. Is the steering wheel offset that much in real life?

As standard, no, it looks like a Jimmy Hill chin lol. With some lowering/colour coding, they can look very nice!!

Nah, looks "good" from most angles: Still huuuuge though.

Agree, its awful lol,along with the wheels that look like GP1 Replicas!! Thy can be made to look a little better however ... OP's: Chap on MT, lowered approx 3 feet, plus lots of colour coding:

At £3250 its a bargain tbh, especially with the spec. If you really want to get rid of it, unbolt any mods you can, put standard wheels on it & just sell it as "standard". My grey one went like that, so my mates wife is currently driving around with R56 brakes, JCW exhaust, Facelift xenons...

Ha ha, i was just trolling you for saying "it was actually a sound choice financially" :tonguewink: I know what you did, as i did it with my M3, you saw something nice & bought it, without a care in the world lol !!

I do like these, however your man maths needs some work, you've spent about 16 grand on a car, to save money on fuel & tax

Might be an idea at some point, although in the Spring would probably be better, think it needs machine polishing before proper photos are taken, is a little swirly, & that wont be done for a loooooong time lol ... Sarah's TT needs doing as well tbh, one too many Romanianwashes. Bike? You...

Thanks!! Ever since i was 17 ive wanted a blue(ish) car with a white leather interior, finally managed it with this. A darn site better than the Calibra 2.0 8v that first made me love the combo as well 😂 Strangely, i much prefer this one to the last M3!!! As daft as it sounds...

So today was the end of the road for the M135i - BCA have collected it as an early termination, so its off to auction at Blackbushe. Its been a good car, but not a great one imho, plagued with issues & dealer incompetence at the beginning (which i had tried to avoid by getting brand new!!!), it...

Well he did that properly!! Blooming heck, lucky to walk away ...

So then, this wont be a massively long thread full of modifications & faffing, it'll just be a place to put a load of (cr4p) pictures now & again. I went out looking for an e92 M3 to replace the M135i and ended up buying this instead, half the price spent meant more money for other things. Its...

Had a Z3M when i joined in Sept 2005, but got this the following month: Now:

Excellent choice!!! I would have had to go for Nav personally, but you can always retrofit it for £800 or so. Needs silver wheels & standard grills imho, you've saved it from Birmingham, dont send it straight back there lol.

From memory, they are above the drivers door, so the side is different for RHD/LHD.

:kissingheart:

Assume the silver clio also had a RWD conversion? Really odd place to crash, would be interested to know what actually happened!!

Sell it. Now.

They should. And the standard finish is much better i think, gloss black doesnt work with the rest of the greys on the car imho. Dans: Mine: Other than that, it looks ace!!

For the sake of £50, id just buy the whole bank, save trying to remove one of the buttons (i'm not sure they can be split?). Hopefully its just teh switch & not the regulator as that can be a bit of a pig to swop over, i had to do a couple on the e46 touring.

Oz Alleggeritas are even better!!

Best colour & spec imho, looks great!!

Thought you said you were keeping this a little longer? Its been on Autotrader for weeks lol ...

As the aux belts are cracked, & there is no history of the alternator being changed, id suspect that. Have you plugged it into INPA? What are the symptoms anyway? Also, when you are 5 mins away from setting fire to it/trading it in for a Prius, pm me a "best cash price" lol

Congrats/commiserations on the engagement!! Word of advice though, dont buy from the high street, i.e. Ernest Jones etc, you will pay considerably more/get a far worse quality diamond than if you take the trip down to Hatton Garden in London and/or buy something online from Bluenile etc. There...

So did i. But it drove FAR better on 17's/non-runflats, than 18's/run-flats :wink:

They look sh1t in photos. But brilliant in real life. I used to hate them, until i saw one in real life, fell in love, drove it, & bought it there & then. Regret selling it most days. Turinis look ok.

Oh, now that is stunning!! Does it have any Porsche Warranty on it at all?

In the grand scheme of things, £9k for a minty fresh s/c version of probably one of the best hot hatches ever made, is essentially f*ck all. Just because most 1*2's are now about the same price as a set of tyres for my M135i, doesnt mean that some people out there dont want to simply buy the...
